Comments from Writer Yuto Suzuki, Director Masaki Watanabe, and Voice actor Tomokazu Sugita has arrived:
SAKAMOTO DAYS will be made into an anime!
Yuto Suzuki
I’m amazed that my work will be shown on TV!
It’s all thanks to the fans who have supported me, thank you so much! I hope you’ll continue to help make SAKAMOTO DAYS even more exciting! Thank you!
When I first read the manga “SAKAMOTO DAYS,” I remember being excited by the powerful action scenes. With
Masaki Watanabe
that feeling at the core of the anime “SAKAMOTO DAYS,” I hope to add the elements of “movement,” “color,” and “sound” that are unique to animation to create a work with a sense of dynamism and speed.
I also hope to carefully portray Sakamoto’s character as a family-loving assassin who doesn’t kill, without forgetting the humor sprinkled throughout the original work. The
entire staff is working hard on the production, so please look forward to the release!
Eh? “SAKAMOTO DAYS” is going to be made into an anime? Oh, I’m going to be in it!
Tomokazu Sugita
What role? Tarou Sakamoto!? Amazing!
I’ve gained weight recently, so I’m kind of perfect for the role.
Eh? Sakamoto can get thin too? Right…
Once I decide to do something, I’ll do it with all my heart. I’ll do my best. Thank you!
